About the piece
Attributed to Johann Baptiste Bouttats around 1700, this dynamic oil painting captures a tense moment in nature. The high contrast between the luminous white plumage of the geese and the brooding, dark landscape creates a powerful visual narrative characteristic of late Baroque animal studies, offering a sophisticated and historic aesthetic.
